Quand J’étais le Flâneur


I was the man of leisure – the urban explorer and the connoisseur of the streets.  I was the “Jack of all Trades”; I was a young FlâneurThe streets were my element – the energy of the crowds became my flesh, and the scenes of the city became my sight.  I was eloquently simple; I was the quiet observer.  I was the unit and the detached that played two roles – “The Man of the Crowd” who would adapt to the alienations of a busy conurbation, and “The Invisible Man” who would hide in plain sight.


How I came to escape my perfect romanticism and replaced it with the abstract expressionism of an indifferent angle is a fairytale mystery.
